@@Karlthegreat84 the u.s. is still (barely) a majority white country, and in terms of raw numbers, more white people voted for obama than black people did, despite the fact that nearly all black voters did. so that joke perhaps isn't in the best of taste. seth meyers did a better take on your joke at the 2011 event, when he said that "if your hair gets any whiter, the tea party is going to endorse it." make the joke about how the tea party is racist, rather than implying that all white people are.

He never lets bantering or poking fun of people get to his ego and it is because of that, his humbleness truly shines.
